We had almost [2000 submissions](http://www.flickr.com/groups/oneiric-wallpaper-submissions/pool/) this cycle and managed to whittle that down to [45 shortlisted pictures](http://www.flickr.com/groups/1777695@N22/pool/). We will aim to get as many as we can into the final release. I’ve attached the images to a [bug in launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/+bug/829213) which is how the images will get into the release and we’ll keep an eye on this listing until release day on the 13th October to make sure everything’s in place. With so many images it’s not surprising that our shortlisters couldn’t pick out every great image so I’ve been through and made [a gallery of my favourites](http://www.flickr.com/photos/iain/galleries/72157627430556981/) and would encourage everyone to do the same and let the creators of this content know how much you appreciate their effort! Thanks again and I look forward to seeing what we create next time around!
